Right from the welcome at reception and the information I was given I knew I was going to enjoy my stay, the room was very clean and had everything in it I needed, sadly I was so tired after driving the last 7 hours I fell asleep and missed the restaurant, pity as the menu looked great, but I slept very well , no noise and bed was very comfy . Early meant missing breakfast, but I will rectify that next time .

Excellent accommodation, good check-in experience, easy access to “The Terrace Restaurant” from room. The grounds are well presented and provide a peaceful taste of the tropics. The restaurant was pleasant, the meal delightful and substantial. Did not like the “virtual mini-bar bar”. If it’s “order from room service”, then that is what it is, don’t dress it up! It looks like the host cannot trust people with the mini-bar and that means me as a guest, which I find insulting….. Whilst it was a bit cool on this occasion I like a swim before breakfast, the restricted pool hours would deny this to me, and likely many guests, who are not planning on early morning pool games. Other than these minor items we would recommend the Ballina Byron Islander Resort.
